National Numbers Articles

If you are looking for Cheap Personalised Number Plates, most people go for a prefix letter with a chosen number and three letters resembling their initials.

These make excellent gifts for Birthdays and Christmas presents as they can be presented on a certificate ready for transfer with the actual number plates attractively wrapped up.

Sport registrations can be sourced by looking at the number plates search. We have dedicated a complete section to sport including football, caving, scuba diving, tennis, golf, cricket, ski, volleyball, rugby, judo, snowboard, karate, racing and soccer. Each individual section is then sub divided to give associated terms. For example, for “golf” we suggest ace, blast, shot, tour, club, hole, pro and so on. It’s a very comprehensive sport section and you can also design your own number plates depending on what you’re looking for ie. names, initials etc.

Personalised plates UK is a long established industry. The market has been growing ever since drivers realised that a registration mark is not just a method for legal identification of the vehicle but can actually say a lot about the person who owns the car.

Personalised plates UK was given a boost when DVLA itself became allowed to offer previously retained marks for sale.

Effectively, this injection of registration marks opened the market to many people who hitherto had regarded personalised plates UK as being available only to the rich. See here for more information on Number Plate formats explained and Private Reg.

We pride ourselves in trying to achieve a very well run business. To this end we decided that we would try to achieve an award that is recognised by industry throughout Europe. We prepared to try and gain the quality award BSI 9001 2000. National Numbers managed to do this at its first attempt. The Chairman, Eric Craggs, had previously worked as a manager at ICI for 30 years and had been involved in trying to get businesses within ICI to get this award. We have had the award for almost 10 years. For the last two years, BSI have required us to conduct a formal customer survey – we are the only company within the DVLA number plate business to do so. Please look at our Testimonials to see what they think. You may think that a lot of web sites just make up their feedback, a lot do, but we are actually audited by a British Standard Quality Expert to verify that our customer comments are genuine.

The idea of a personalised plate has developed from the initial term “cherished plate”. A personalised plate or mark has a much broader meaning and includes a far more diverse type of driver.

A personalised plate can include sourcing your name, initials, birthday, business or even your favourite football team.

For example, Robert Jones, a Rangers Football Club Supporter, owns 8 RFC. However, if you spotted 4 EFC, you might think the driver was a supporter of Everton, but you’d be wrong as this particular personalised plate stands for “Euro Photo Centre”.

We have put a lot of background information into the following article:- Personalised Number Plates, DVLA Information and Registration Numbers.

Still on a theme of “fry”, 6 FRY advertises the jewellery business of Mr.W.Fry in Lincoln.
